Teen musician Amir 'Dadda' Fyffe seems to be coming into his own as an artiste in recent days, having had close ties with Alliance boss, Bounty Killer.

The 16-year-old recently launched his record label, Lacka Squad Records, and is soon set to release the One56 rhythm, named after his Ocho Rios address, under the label.

The rhythm will feature several songs including a collaboration between himself and Bounty Killer.

He also has a team of artistes including Habba-G, Chippstar, Blackwedda and Keke-I, who are linked to the label and he described them as, "the extended family of the Alliance/A.N.G. (Alliance Next Generation)", as they remain loyal and true to the general, Bounty Killer.

"I want the people of the nation to know that Lacka Squad Records is going to be the biggest record label. It registered, copyright and patent," Dadda told The STAR.

He also said that being with the Lacka Squad camp will not hinder his Alliance links.

"Wi still have a close relationship wid di Killer, but Lacka Squad a from before mi even seh Alliance. Nothing nah guh change wid Alliance, di general (Bounty Killer) even acknowledge Lacka Squad as a extended family of Alliance," he said.

Dadda recently did another collaboration, Rolling Out, with Iyara and Nymron of the A.N.G camp on the Nitro rhythm for Gesta Music Label, which is set to be released soon. A video for the song is to be done by Liquid Herbal Nitro.

Among his other recent recordings is Nuh Like Carry Go Bring Come, on the Stashment rhythm in which he deejays about 'carry go bring come' ruining the relationship between Vybz Kartel and his former mentor Bounty Killer, Khago and his one-time manager Bankylous and other entertainers.

His mixtape, Lyrically Diversified is to be released next week.

Dadda recently travelled to a few Caribbean countries for promotional performances and is booked for events in the upcoming Easter holiday such as a fete at his school, Ocho Rios high, and the Portland Seafood Festival on April 8.

He is already putting things in place for his annual back-to-school charity show, held for the past four years around the end of August, where he gives away brand-name bags and stationery with the help of his European business associate Michael 'Firewheel' Schuessler, Bounty Killer's Alliance/A.N.G, Hero's God Alone crew, Teflon's Yard A Love crew, and other artistes.

Now in 10th grade at high school, he wishes to advise the Jamaican youth to, "stay focus in school, grasp for more education and show respect to all."

He also wants to reach out to the security forces as he says, "Is a rough road out there, so please be more focused and vigilant on our nation streets as mi know you all have a tough task and challenge out there. Show love and mercy to all, no matter the class, colour or creed...free world, free speech."
